To protect against that some channels have activated a flag that only allows authenticated users to enter the channel.
If you're using the regular "nickserv" authentication way as I was doing, the authentication happens in parallel to entering the channels and you'll probably be rejected from joining some.
What you want is use SASL, that is a "new IRC" protocol that will first authenticate and then join the server/channels.

Thanks Fuchs on #kde-devel for enlightening me :)
And of course, I'm going to Akademy ;)
Oh, wow, I'm famous!
ReplyDeletejokes aside and a minor sidenote: we spell ourselves freenode, with a lower case f.
On the spam: we are currently working on better means that do block it whilst not invading user privacy, so we hope that soon enough the registered only flag won't be needed any more.
